It's been a busy few months, but here we have the combined updates from version 1.20 and 1.30, now released and ready for testing! Lots of design and clarity updates in this one; faction tracking is now front and center on the top bar, and faction leaders now give you a clearer idea of what they think of you, both in the council room and during events. I've also tweaked the starting conditions to prevent a variety of difficult/impossible starts (goodbye, one-tile islands!). Full details below; check it out and definitely let me know if you find any bugs!

(P.S. If you are not an alpha tester, do not despair! Feast or Fracture is in active development and road-mapped for release at the end of this year. Wishlist or follow us to stay in the loop!)


New to this Version...

Design & Clarity

• New faction tracking on the top bar
  
• Improved taxation GUI and cleaned up taxation effects on factions
  
• Highlight selected unit or village on the map
  
• Improved council display, including a desktop mirror to view your "self"
  
• Improved event display, adding icons and faction leader text to results
  
• Improved event structure; easy generation of new events
  
• Added new character dialogue for all 14 active characters, and added character comments in council
  
• Cleaned up lifestyle tracking; lifestyle is now 1 number
  
• Turned off "fervor" tracking. Don't worry, we'll bring this back with the religion module! (road-mapped for version 1.50)

Balance/Play

• Changed unit tree; level0 units are now farmers and warbands.
  
• Added grain silos as a level 0 building, built by farmers. Re-enabled farmers building simple buildings.
  
• Added quarries (laborers produce stone, can only be built on mountains)
  
• Improved map script, prevent tiny island starts
  
• Removed random early bandits from easy difficulties
  
• Improved bandit/marauder script: opportunists. Bandits will not attack tiles with a military unit guarding them.
  
• Updated starting bonuses for Ephraim, Tarissa, and Ying Tsu.

Fixed Bugs:

• fixed crash related to generating faction leaders for specific factions
  
• fixed event popups overlapping bottom toggle bar
  
• fixed load saved games module failing to load all games
  
• fixed a bug that prevented various crops from growing on 'lonely mountain' tiles
  
• fixed a bug where the "Negotiate with a hamlet" window wasn't closing correctly
  
• fixed a bug that spawned bandits on turn 3 in every game.
  
• fixed a crash related to refugees generating with phantom "attackers"
  
• fixed several crashes related to failures of map generation.

Bonus points for reading this far - the roadmap for version 1.4x is to include rivers and a map editor!

Hello everyone!

- Flip Switches
- Targets
- Ball Bowl
- Rotating Lift Platform

Catch a glimpse of the new mechanics here:


I hope you enjoy!

Now that I've delivered 10 courses, up next is the level editor with Steam Workshop integration! I've already made good progress on the level editor earlier this year but wasn't able to get it ready in time for the release. I'm hoping to move fast and get it in player's hands as soon as possible. I also anticipate getting a lot of helpful feedback from the community. The goal is to make creating levels a fun experience by providing a streamlined UI/UX.

Thank you all for your continued support, feedback, and patience. Your input is immensely valued and essential to our progress.

Hello Everyone!

We hope you’re as excited as we are about the upcoming Splintered Sea expansion! Today we’re going to talk about the expansion’s water simulation and some of its features.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2165710/Besiege_The_Splintered_Sea/

It’s always been important to us that if we ever added water to Besiege, it would need to be a more interactive & impactful experience for the player than simply a flat plane to sail a ship across. With that in mind, throughout the development of the Splintered Sea expansion we have tweaked and refined the water simulation to make it as fun, challenging and immersive as possible.

The Splintered Sea’s ocean features large waves that physically batter your ship about, making navigation challenging and causing ill-balanced machines to capsize. Constructing an aquatic machine presents different challenges to those faced on land and we’ll talk more about Building for Water in an upcoming post.



Ensuring immersive and satisfying interaction between player creations and the ocean was also very important to us. We wanted the water to react to your presence, creating a rippling wake-like effect as your machine moves and splashing when parts of your ship impact the surface. Splashes and spray are proportional to the magnitude of an impact, so striking the water with a large heavy object at high speed creates a much larger effect than something smaller and lighter at a slower speed.



Now, Besiege wouldn’t be Besiege without awesome explosions, so we wanted to give special attention to them in water as well!

• Bombs & Mines are powerful enough to physically impact water both above and below the surface. Above the ocean large explosions force the water downward, creating a temporary depression in its surface.
  
• Large explosions underwater create a big bubble that forces water (and anything caught in it’s wake) away from the explosion’s epicenter and then sucks anything nearby back in as the bubble collapses. This makes submarine warfare especially satisfying and immersive!
  
• Underwater explosions also thrust water upward, creating huge bulges on the ocean’s surface that cause damage to vessels caught in them.

That's all for today, but next week we'll be taking a deeper dive into The Splintered Sea's aquatic blocks and how they'll help you take on Besiege's formidable ocean!

Cheers everyone,
Von
